    Comments about Womens New Balance 1340 Running Shoe:

    I've been wearing the 1200 series since the 1220. What happened to the cushioning in the tongue. I was sitting in a movie for heaven's sake and it was bothering me. I didn't have it tied too tight either. Just not as comfortable as my previous New Balance shoes. I will most likely be returning them.

    Why change a good shoe? I've worn the NB 1011-1012's for years with no problems. Ordered the 1340's and whoa, shoes seems a half size smaller and toe box isn't as wide as it used to be.

        I have worn the NB 1012 for several years. I have bunions and wide flat feet. I loved the 1012. This shoe was to replace the 1012 but it is nothing like it. It is narrower so maybe if I had bought the wide the fit may have been better (although I used the fit guide on NB website which stated it would fit the same as 1012). After a 3 mile run my left battled hamstring, shin and arch pain. My right battled knee pain. I have never had these pains with the 1012's. The fit is also off. They have a breathable mesh on the toes but the strap hits my foot wrong so it pushes my pinky toe out. I will be returning this shoe. The one nice thing I could say is the color is cute.

            Comments about Womens New Balance 1340 Running Shoe:

            I tried to find a good pair of everyday shoes that worked with my prescription orthotics. I did not want them to squeeze my feet or "squeak" when I walked. I went thru 3 different brands before hearing about the NB 1340 running shoes. I tried them thinking I would most likely send them back too. I was wrong. I like them enough that I bought a second pair. I have worn them with my orthotics and they are very comfortable. I pulled the inserts that come with the shoe out and used just my inserts and that was fine. I put their insert back in and then placed mine on top. That is how I wear them now. I also tried them without my inserts and used just theirs. That was even comfortable. I can't speak as to how long they will last - as they are new to me. But I can say that my feel do not hurt all day long in these shoes. I have wide, flat feet with plantar fasciitis & tarsal tunnel in both. Not fun. So far these shoes are working out for me.

              Comments about Womens New Balance 1340 Running Shoe:

              I have really low arches. In the past, I've owned the NB 991's, and most recently owned the 1012. I found the 991's to be heavy, and the 1012 to be clunky looking (not to mention, made me look like an old lady). This shoe is light and gives a good amount of support to my over protonation. I did replace the insole, as the insole by itself was not enough to support my low arches... but all in all this has been a great go-to shoe for walking, gym workouts, etc. If they make this same shoe again next year, I'll be getting two pair just like this last time around.
